How about my old idea of firing the man pages into a Hypercard stack. Or
putting your 6000 pages of docs into Hypercard. Put them on a CD-ROM along
with the regular man pages and have Hypercard fixed so that it can be the
ONE Mac OS application that runs while under A/UX. Or you might have it 
compiled to run under A/UX native (might be a little difficult if you don't 
have a Pascal compiler.

Yup! Hypertext! and CD-ROM support under A/UX!
